In the Fall 2025 issue of Biblical Archaeology Review, archaeologists Uzi Leibner and Orit Peleg-Barkat examine the latest finds from the Ophel excavations in Jerusalem and what they reveal about pilgrimage to the Holy City during the late Second Temple period. Here, we highlight Bible History Daily articles that report on recent discoveries in Jerusalem and beyond that further inform our understanding of how early Jewish pilgrims experienced the journey to Jerusalem and Temple-related rituals during the first centuries BCE and CE. In addition, we list recent academic articles and book publications that present detailed discussions of the latest scholarly findings concerning Jerusalem pilgrimage.One of the linked-to BHD essays is new:
Pilgrimage Pit Stop. Who used the ritual baths at Jerusalem’s Tomb of the Kings? (Omri Abadi and Boaz Zissu )
The others have been published before. I have linked to some of them.
